sab kuchh yaad kar raha hun main
koi baat bhula dene ko

aur ye kaisi sachchai hai
aaj bhulne ki koshish mein

sadiyon ki tarikhen azbar kar baitha hun
main hairan hun main hun pareshan

kaise chhupaun haalat apni
har koshish la hasil meri

aur ye kamra ye diwaren
khunti se latki shalwaren

ye be-raunaq budhi raaten
farsh pe lipti biti baaten

ye sab mujh par bojh bane hain
uf ye kaisa zulm hai mujh par

jab bhi main nanga hota hun
mere tan par chadar koi padi hoti hai

wo bhi ek ghadi hoti hai
jab sine par shahr khada ho

tab kuchh be-mani chikhon se
ek matlab ki chikh achanak main hathya lun

aur kisi khamosh jagah tanha goshe mein
sara matlab chhin jhapat kar

fauran us ka gala daba dun
main shayad kuchh bhul raha hun

han main sab kuchh bhul chuka hun
ab tanha khali kamre mein

hath mein nanga chhura dabae
daud raha hun bhag raha hun

ye bhi mujh ko yaad nahin ab
soya hun ya jag raha hun

qatl ke fauran baad magar phir
wo sab ka sab yaad rahega

jise bhulne ki koshish mein
sadiyon ki tarikhen azbar kar baitha hun
